The 1899 Cleveland Spiders were the worst team in MLB history, at least by winning percentage. The franchise which once boasted future Hall of Famers Cy Young, Bobby Wallace, and Jesse Burkett came to a screeching hault when Frank Robison and his brother Stanley acquired the St. Louis Browns and renamed them to the St. Louis Perfectos. All those legends were stripped from Cleveland and sent to play in St. Louis.
Ballplayers who played with the Spiders in 1899 included veteran catcher Chief Zimmer, player-managers Lave Cross and Joe Quinn, pitchers Jim Hughey and Frank Bates, cigar store clerk Eddie Kolb baseball, and shorstop Harry Lochhead.

1952 World Series, Game 7: Yankees @ Dodgers
New York Yankees 4 at Brooklyn Dodgers 2, F -- Gene Woodling and Mickey Mantle homered, and Billy Martin made a game-saving grab of an infield popup gone awry, as the Yankees recovered from a three game to two deficit to win their fourth of five straight World Series, in seven games over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Mantle's homer in the sixth gave the Yankees the lead for good, and an insurance run in the seventh made it 4-2. With the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the inning, Jackie Robinson hit a high pop up that Yankees first baseman Joe Collins appeared to lose it in the sun. But Martin charged in from second base to snatch the ball at his shoe tops to end the inning and snuff out the Dodgers' last threat as the Yankees secured the championship.

This episode also serves as an exploration of 1899, as it's just the 2nd episode of Baseball Bits that deals with 19th century baseball.
In the end, this team won just 20 games while losing 134, making them the MLB worst team ever by most measures, but there's also elements of their story to be celebrated. You'll learn about them here on Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production.
